Domino and Systech deliver track and trace capability for pharmaceutical manufacturers

Ink jet and laser manufacturer Domino Printing Sciences plc and Systech International, the provider of packaging performance management solutions, have announced an agreement that will combine Domino's marking and coding solutions and Systech's TIPS serialized product tracking solution. As a Systech International authorized solutions provider, Domino will provide pharmaceutical manufacturers with a comprehensive end-to-end solution to combat counterfeit product and increase patient safety.

‘Combining Systech’s TIPS serialized product tracking solution with Domino's core marking and integration capabilities provides customers with quality solutions that can be delivered on a global scale,’ said Simon King, director of Domino's Integrated Solution Group. ‘The comprehensive solution will allow pharmaceutical manufacturers to significantly increase patient safety and combat counterfeit and diversion challenges.’

Various coding formats are supported, ranging from bar code and Data Matrix to RFID.  The addition of in-line verification and tag reading capabilities, coupled with failsafe data and product tracking control ensures that customers are presented with secure systems representing the best technologies available for application at the point of manufacture.

‘The partnership is a natural fit for both Domino and Systech,’ said Robert DeJean, president and CEO of SYSTECH International. ‘The agreement leverages Domino's expertise in coding and marking technologies with our track and trace technologies to deliver an integrated solution that enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to authenticate product across their supply chains.’

Both companies have deep experience within the pharmaceutical industry, providing solutions that are fully compliant with the requirements for 21 CFR Part 11 and further supported with GAMP validation packages.
